[aur-general] SVN package, pkgver() and SRCDEST
by Rafael Ferreira 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi there. I notice that if you have SRCDEST set in makepkg.conf, working in 'src/' folder with Subversion doesn't seem to work just like 'git log -1 ....' or 'git describe | ....', as it seems that 'src/' is simply a 'svn export' copy of $SRCDEST (e.g.: /home/foobar/sources). In pcsx2-svn [1], I'm using the following function to accomplish the task of getting pkgver dynamically: pkgver () { svnversion "${SRCDEST:-$srcdir}"/$pkgname } Any opinions or better solution to get pkgver?

[aur-general] AUR package: yogurt
by Jason St. John 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

I hate to be the guy ruining someone's joke, but is the "yogurt" package[1] really appropriate for the AUR? It just makes a symlink from "yogurt" to "yaourt" making fun of the latter's name. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yogurt/ Jason

[aur-general] Advice for CVS packages
by Stefan Husmann 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hello, I did not find an example PKGBUILD for a CVS based, repo-hosted program. Especially, how can I rewrite a typical CVS sting like :pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/auctex into an URL? Best Regards Stefan

[aur-general] pacman4.1 PKGBUILD-git help needed
by Rob Til Freedmen 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

I've received a comment this morning from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/argotlunar-git/ gtmanfred wrote: 'https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines pacman 4.1 supporst git also, patches should be in the prepare() function' I didn't found an updated PKGBUILD-git.proto nor an example of prepare() for patches. All I had was an example from the VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines to convert PKGBUILD to pacman4.1 standards Alas, makepkg throws an error; ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: /src/argotlunar-git/argotlunar is not a clone of git:// github.com/mourednik/argotlunar Aborting... http://sprunge.us/LNCi What do I missing? Any advice are welcome!

[aur-general] delete request check-svn
by Stefan Husmann 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hello, the check-svn [1] package was introduced as a dependency to the gnupdf-bzr [2] package. Now the check-package [3][4] in [extra] also provides version 0.9.9 and thus is recent enough. Both do not differ much. Please remove check-svn. Best Regards Stefan. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/check-svn/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnupdf-bzr/ [3] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/check/ [4] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/check/

[aur-general] phasex clean up
by Rob Til Freedmen 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

These packages are out-dated and build from a disabled/not maintained repository https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phasex-dev/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phasex-dev-git/ and should probably deleted from the AUR They are replaced by these packages: build from a tar ball https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phasex/ build from the new repository https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phasex-git/

[aur-general] Orphan/delete requests
by Limao Luo 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Orphan request: xflux [1] does not follow the AUR package guideline that specifically says not to use $startdir. Delete request: All of the sources for trushuffle [2] (same maintainer as [1]) do not exist. Yes, there is a launchpad repo, but all the sources were deleted from there too. It has pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth. In addition to comments in the respective packages regarding what should be done, I notified the maintainer of both of these packages 2 weeks ago with no response or update. Thanks in advance. -luolimao [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xflux/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trushuffle/

[aur-general] copy delete request
by Jonathan Arnold 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Perhaps due to the copy vs copy-agent request, copy[1] was orphaned. I think it can be safely deleted, as copy-agent[2] is a better PKGBUILD, albeit not without its own flaws.
